Jaden Ivey went live after the Chicago Bulls waived him following his recent anti-LGBTQ comments, saying: “They said your conduct has been detrimental to the team… I haven’t even been with the team because I’ve been rehabbing.”
“You can’t fire me I never even showed up for work” is a new one honestly
George Constanza smiling down from the heavens above
Again George Costanza is very much alive.
I didn’t even know he was sick
alive in our hearts

Gone but not forgotten
Man i had to check to make sure Jason Alexander didnt die, fuck you
How did you check if you’re not even with him?
Hes just going to show up to work like nothing happend
He’s going to use Jerry Reinsdorfs toilet
even better than kramer getting fired from a company he didn’t even work for
And doesn’t even apply.
Who does this stupid motherfucker think was paying for his rehab? And paying his fucking salary while rehabbing.
God damn some of these dudes are too stupid for life.
he is way way way dumber than i ever realized.
NBA players, you are not just an athlete playing basketball. you are a representative of the organization and league that is paying your salary. You represent them in the public eye. Your livelihood comes from people paying to watch you play. You need to maintain good will and a good public image.
holy shit so dumb.
Remember the video “On what continent is Egypt?” “Bro, I play basketball I don’t do geography!”
how you get fired on your day off
“Where have I done detriment?” is a new one, too
He wasn’t operating in commerce, so he can’t have done detriment. Also the gold fringe on the flag indicates the Bulls are operating under maritime law.
Adam Silver is going to demand a video kill switch on all player accounts for himself in the next CBA.
“where have I done detriment” … Imma start saying that to my wife.
Like sir, scroll up to your last 12 posts and live streams to see the detriment.
He clearly doesn’t know what detriment actually means. I think he thinks it means insult.
I still think he heard “proclaim” for the first time within the last 24 hours and wanted to say it a bunch because he thought it sounded cool.
Motherfucker has a word-a-day calendar
I promulgate that every person needs one
Indubitably
i think the problem is he thinks the team means the players whereas everyone else knows the team is a business first.
Instant classic
he detrimented me 4x
This sounds like something Kenny Powers said
“You can’t accuse me of sleeping with your sister because we didn’t sleep, just fucked”
Man doesn’t even understand detriment
one underrated parts about all this clips is hes trying sooooooo hard to sound smart by using biggish words like “proclaim” lol
Dudes on ig eatin his shit up tho, just like they do with miles bridges
Man is auditioning to be a background character in the right wing grifterverse
“Now Hiring: Tokens Wanted”
It’s Tolkien
Why would you think I named my son Token?
like the author?!
He can do a buddy hoops movie with Jonathan Majors now. Written and directed by Ben Shapiro.
Did you mean Jonathan Isaac lol
No Jonathan majors is going to star in some daily wire production
He got canceled in regular society, so he’s relegated to the magaverse.
The Anti-Woke Sinners where his twin brother is played by Zachary Levi
That’s the sequel after they recast majors because he became too expensive
Podcast title is some cross / crossover related pun. Needs work but there’s something there
The holy crossover.
shoutout nickelli5 for calling him a clown in the chat
All over social media, especially sports content.
I mean half the clips of the Jeff Teague podcast I’ve seen recently is these grown men mocking, giggling and being transphobic about 18 year old Zaya Wade with the comments falling over themselves about how funny it is they keep calling Zaya, Wade’s son and making sexual “zesty” jokes about her.
Jeff Teague coaches at his former high school btw. And his club 520 members show up to his games. So that’s who is currently surrounding the 15-18 year old boys he coaches.
wait they’re doing that on the podcast or in the replies?
On the podcast. These are clips I could find with a cursory glance.

They also do a lot of homophobic shit regarding Dwight Howard. https://youtube.com/shorts/Iehoi2EQUSo here’s one example
Same guys talking about caring about the youth through Teague coaching high school ball.
aww that’s unfortunate to see, i thought those guys were funny.
Are they even real people? Maybe they’re just trolling to get likes or they’re bots.
You’d be shocked at how common his beliefs are and people who side with him. The reaction on reddit isn’t exactly how it is everywhere. Lots of people side with him and think “he’s just speaking his mind”.
To be fair it’s probably like a hundred commentors that all already followed Jaden Ivey. Not a representative bunch
I was shocked when I learned there is a sizable amount of Evangelical Christians who actually believe in and want to cause the Rapture though a world ending event.
Unironically there are people who support Israel’s war bc they believe it will trigger armageddon. It’s well documented
All the comment on instagram are like “worst organization” and “he spoke his mind” and “what happened to freedom of speech”. A lot of religious people see nothing wrong with what he said
People are ignorant idiots. I always find it a bit funny how people say ‘that’s not representative of society.’ Usually it is in fact representative of society. A looooot of fucked up beliefs just lurking under the surface
There are some of them already popping up in this very thread
The ones I checked appear to be real
We have to share a fucking planet with these people
It’s… disheartening.
IG users are a different breed it’s pure ignorance over there. Like Twitter is a lot of rage bait, on IG they sincerely mean the stupid shit they say.
This guy really is dumb af.
anyone who loves this young man, should just grab his phone, and hold on it to it for 2 days.
More than that man dude needs medication or something
*chapstick
Is he supposed to grow a brain in 2 days
Well presumably if he’s having a psychotic breakdown- that could last from a few hours to several months if untreated.
men can’t love men; haven’t you listened to a word he’s said
All the dumbasses in his comments agreeing with him is depressing af
MethReligion, not even once
‘Pistons ain’t gonna matter when judgement comes’
These nutters don’t even know what team he’s on
he said that the other night on his insta live. Word for word.
Yeah I was (foolishly) looking forward to all the comments roasting him and was pretty bummed to see the cascade of support, and not even just support but blatant agreeing with what he said.
Yeah I got over 20 downvotes for shitting on his beliefs on his first post. Looks like he’s making it harder and harder for people to defend him, but there’s always gonna be a few religious nuts who eat this up.
“I robbed a bank but I wasn’t even with the team! I was totally on the other side of town!”
The worst kind of dumb. He learns some 6th grade smart words like proclaim and detriment and thinks saying them repeatedly makes him sound smart.
He may be but he’s also not in his right mind.
Typical religious nutjob
I’m thinking it is some kind of mental illness or breakdown. He isn’t making sense in either video. This is just seems like some skizto ranting or some shit. Something is up.
He didn’t say it… he proclaimed it…
Dude learned the word “proclaim” yesterday confirmed
i declare…
BANKRUPTCY
This was basically him the whole video
“They proclaim it. They proclaim it” 🗣️🗣️
Like he’s a fuckin pastor or something
He thinks using it more increases his knowledge meter. Dude sounds like a toddler that just learned a few new words.
what the fuck is he even talking about after the first bit 😭
He’s not in his right mind. He might benefit from some haldol, sleep, and people to help him when he comes to.
I took haldol once and every muscle in my body cramped and tensed up all at one time. Not fun. I had to be injected with benadryl to stop it.
Man that sounds absolutely detriment.
fuckin lol
That sucks.
Stop doing detriment.
The rest of the reels I watched are the same, he says one sentence and repeats it ten times in a row, changing a word or two.
Textbook perseveration. He’s definitely manic
Damn, I just learned a new word. A new word. I learned it. A new word. I just learned what perseveration means. A new word for me. Perseveration. I just learned it.
Now you have the best words
P R O C L A I M E D
Yeah I’m like, people don’t just read the caption. Turn the audio on and listen, this is a person who is clearly not good in the brain. He’s just rambling nonsense.
He literally doesn’t understand the team image and branding is also part of the team. I can’t believe these dummies are blessed with so much height 😂😂😂
This dude is really losing it thinking he can act however he wants when he’s not with the team lol.
Has to be a mental health episode. The man needs help.
Everyone is calling him dumb but something is definitely up. He is either having some mental episode or the dude is on drugs.
His voice tone seems manic to me. It’s like super flat I’ve heard people in episodes. Obviously don’t know him so speculating
agree 100% - listened to enough interviews when he was on the Pistons to know he’s not an idiot. Hope he gets some help for whatever this is.
I can guarantee that it’s a mental health episode. After he got injured and benched here, I think he started to realize just how brutal the league really is. Even before his injury, there was a game where he just wasn’t played at all. He probably saw Chicago as his chance to have a breakout, but he was almost IMMEDIATELY sent back down to Earth. I think it must’ve wrecked him, because it’s been BAD since then.
Jaden Ivey can act however he wants if he was producing like prime LeBron James, but he is no where near that level of talent and production.
It was better when athletes were just the people who we saw on our television every couple days.
Apart from shitposting on reddit, I feel like I’ve been able to mostly recreate my fandom from when I was 12 years old by never watching a single press conference or talk show and just watching games, highlights, and box scores
Yep! It’s more fun that way. You just watch the games. It’s fun for its own sake. Now I have to worry about LeBron’s opinions of the Yughurs and Kanter’s opinion on Palestine. It’s less fun, for sure.
Why would anyone want to hear what players have to say besides xs and os? They are, by nature, wildly uneducated. Anthony edwarss is funny though
This is one of the reasons why I think baseball is coming back. It used to be a problem that no one in the sport had a personality. Now it’s an advantage because the more we learn about star athletes the less we like them.
Agreed. We really didn’t need to hear every dumb thought from everyone with the tiniest fame.
loses his job for saying crazy shit on IG Live, immediately goes back on to dig a deeper hole lmao
He thinks hes got nothing to lose now that hes unemployed 🤣🤣
“It’s Monday, you ain’t got no job, you ain’t got shit to do….let’s double down!”
Job not finished. Well actually
Guy is not mentally connected to reality. This is not how a person of sound mind would act
He has 30 million dollars already and a much brighter future as a right-wing grifter than as a basketball player so I’m not surprised
Can’t grift if you believe it
[deleted]
Real eyes realize real mirrors
lol guys that are measurably and demonstrably idiots like this that speak with such condescending authority are some of the most annoying people
Seeing the comments on his stream. Yeah social media is a cancer.
“Free him”. Brother, he is free lol
“How big is it Ivey” made me laugh tho
As did “this Cole Anthony fault”
People are so fucking stupid and feel the need to share their stupid fucking thoughts with everyone
Critical thinking is dying
“How big is it?”
Yeah, these guys will always believe they’re right because a bunch of losers are gonna support them and blow smoke up their ass no matter what.
it was all a mistake
Just take the L man…
But that still leaves the GBTQ
Lmfaooooo
Goddamnit… Have your upvote.
and the L is my favorite
“Just stop talking” applies a lot of the time, but this isn’t one of those cases. Damage is more than done so he might as well keep screaming into the void
This dude doesn’t even use half his words correctly.
Where has his words done detriment?
I proclaim it
Proper grammar is optional these days, if you proclaim it
Oh he’s kinda dumb…
kinda?!
he thinks “detrimental to team” means not passing to someone and saying you suck lol something tells me they were doing that to him in detroit
Me when I get fired for my reddit comment history but I wasn’t at work when I commented that (my comment history is incredibly bigoted and damaging to my employer):
You didn’t even post anything about your employer. How is your conduct detrimental to your employer? Ball screens.
“But where have I done detriment boss?”
Some of those IG comments rolling through the live are just sad man…
How big is it Ivey?
“How big is it Ivey”
His brain is cooked man
It got detrimented
With that crazy person white gunk on the lips
I was thinking the same thing. Been on a tangent/ramble so long hasn’t drank water or looked in the mirror.
Lips dry as hell talking straight nonsense smdh
Guy finds out that dudes with brands that pay them millions don’t want to be associated with homophobia in the big 26.
Social media is destroying low IQ people’s brains
They proclaimed that the conduct was detrimental to the team!
Cooking your career to hate the gays is madness
Jk Rowling’s new book
wipe your lips bro
Lmao at all the people in his chat gassing him up.
Imagine being 24 and not understanding basic life skills. Your stunted.
Did he really forget when he signed his multi-million dollar contract he agreed to follow certain rules and ethical guidelines?
Or, at minimum, stay off social media lives. Lol
Lmao man. Cooked
shitting on catholics while playing in chicago is enough to get you cut, hes going through something and everyone egging him on isnt doing anything good
Yeah he’s completely lost it. None of what he’s saying makes any sense at all
Wow, he is a LONG way from getting why he was released
Jaden, how’d you get fired on your day off?
your vibe is poison, ivey
hope that helps
Glad I wasnt the only one chuckling to myself watching a guy proclaim he’s not toxic while his username is poisionivey. It’s a literal Onion headline
AJ Griffin going to be in contact with him REAL soon
“How you gonna get fired on your day off”
Everyday, people surprise me with how stupid one can be.
Fucking up his career by saying foolishness online and then immediately going back online with more foolishness just to make sure the Bulls know they made the right choice
Yeah the mental health people were right. He’s ruminating and the corners of his mouth are dry as hell. This ain’t good.
What reddit doesnt realise is a lot of NBA players think closer to what Ivey thinks, than to what me or you do.
What reddit does realize is that most of them are smart enough not to show their ass.
What Reddit doesn’t realize is a LOT of people think like this outside of this echo chamber.
Whether or not they are dumbasses in their way of thinking like he is, most at least aren’t moronic enough to literally broadcast it.
Bro the team is a business. You’re bad for business.
$33 million in career earnings. So he should be fine financially, if nothing else.
Not if he spends his money like he thinks.
You really underestimate athletes and money, especially low IQ athletes.
Damn crazy that we just saw an nba career end in two days because of three social media posts. Gotta be a record
His career was probably already over. He just drove a stake through the heart to make sure.
someone who loves this young man, should grab his phone.
What a total piece of shit
You got fired on your day off?
Oh he’s stupid too.
Lol this just happened literally 2 minutes ago
In the words of Chris Verno Vernon: you saying something or just talking?
He just talkin
Dude gonna be on a TPUSA stage in like 2 weeks tops
No one in his circle is telling him to shut up right now…
Damn bro, drink some water
This dude is 13 years old mentally. It really sucks when world class athletes are completely stunted mentally. His behavior was also detrimental to Basketball, Our Education System and the humans who raised this mental midget.
Just a reminder that Anthony Edwards said worse and faced no repercussions and is the face of the league
Its all about talent.
